I HAD to blog about my wonderful new finds to help in the kitchen!
I have always wanted some LeCreuset pieces, but at around $400 for a dutch oven, it wasn't happening.
I started reading more about cookware and the effects on your health and I really wanted to get some enameled cast iron pieces. I happened upon a company called Lodge - they have started making enamel cast iron pieces at a fraction of the price of LeCreuset!! I called their company and asked about their quality and manufacturing and then ordered up a 3 quart from Amazon for a mere $39.99 (on sale from $79.99 on Amazon). I LOVED it - used it for tons of stuff, so I just ordered the 6 qt. Dutch oven (waited until it went on sale for $39.99). I made French Market Soup in it yesterday and it was delicious! To top it off, they are so pretty in my kitchen!
I'm sold on Lodge cookware!!
Peggy, I've got a google news alert set for anything dealing with cast iron cookware or dutch ovens. I came across your blog, and I, too, am a fan of Lodge.
